Two hundred years ago, a young woman spending a “wet, ungenial summer” in a villa in Switzerland had an idea for a ghost story. What she authored, a tale of galvanism, philosophy, and the re-animated dead, has become a modern myth without rival, influencing countless works of fiction, music, and film. That woman, Mary Shelley, published her novel Frankenstein anonymously in 1818. The book sold well, and was reprinted (and properly credited) in 1823, with a further-edited, definitive edition published in 1831. Today, Frankenstein remains in print, and has become a cornerstone of popular culture.

"David Peak captures the apocalyptic tension gripping the world today, one that is also expressed on several levels by the microcosm he has chosen to focus on: black metal." --Invisible Oranges reviews David Peak's CORPSEPAINT invisibleoranges.com/corpsepa…

"…a novel which throbs in astonishing levels of darkness right until its brutal and shocking apocalyptic ending, which fits uncomfortably within the broken world of today. A truly outstanding novel." —HorrorTalk on David Peak's Corpsepaint horrortalk.com/books/corpsepa…
